The link on the first page will download the latest version which has English Translation , you also need to download the Runpack.exe and run this on your PC to install required missing DLL fiiles this may be where your Error is coming from.

take a screen shot of the error your getting and post it so we can see whats happening.

you say your cable is goosed ? , when you plug into laptop do the LED's light up at all?

Yes it does indeed light up and if I go on to Putty, the two LEDs flash properly. If you were up for it Preee, I could post it to you as I would imagine what I've done (whilst angry) is soldered the white wires to the wrong pins on the connector which goes to the car. If you had one which works perfectly, you'd probably be able to repair it. The holes are already made in the case for the wires to escape or for the switch to be installed.

I do still have the cable as I calmed down after an hour and pulled it out of the recycle bin - at the point of throwing it away I enjoyed the thought of it being melted down!

So I decided to try it on my C-Max (58 plate). Well, it will read the GEM info and that’s about it. Can't get the VIN or anything else to work, read configuration. Just get errors. Any ideas welcome, tried a couple of times, Focus ST is fine, same laptop & software ELMConfig 0.2.3, same configuration.
